Getting another dog.......... Have been thinking about fostering a dog or two for awhile (even before we lost Tank), just to have one around until I can decide on what kind of dog would be best for us. I found an adorable dog whom a rescue site says that he is in despreate need of a foster...

Thanks again everyone. Your messages mean more than you will ever know. I really appreciate everyone's post and am taking each one to heart. I was up to get the kids off to school but it wasn't the same. I used to have to wake Tank up to get him to go outside and then hide is medicine in his...

Thanks everyone. I am sitting here crying and probably won't stop for hours. My husband got him right after we met in 1996 and he was our first baby. My kids are now 7 (boy) and almost 10 (girl). They are taking it OK as I have been preparing them for this for the past few months. I explained...

Just had to have my dog Tank put to sleep. He had a dinner of steak and within a couple of minutes he started bleeding through the nose and it would not stop. Dr had warned me this might happen. Vet was open until 8. Got him there quickly and he was sent to his eternal sleep within 45 minutes of...

Laundress Thanks for that information. I will start to look into Jiffy. I am new to the whole steamer thing and had no idea where to look first. I loved my old (late 80's) Rowenta iron so I thought (or assumed) that it would be a good place to start.

Other stuff I sell I do sell other stuff on occassion. Bought this canister set for $15 and sold it for $70 to someone in Australia. I was happy with that turnaround. Sometimes I sell vintage clothing as well but it's really hit or miss with that since I don't know too much about it. I just...

Picasa I like Picasa. It's easy and does quite a bit of corrections for free.

So sorry to hear of your accident Lawrence. I am praying that you heal quickly.

Thrift stores I have never seen one at the thrift stores I go to or I would have one already. LOL I saw a couple on eBay for $60 or so, which seemed like a great deal. I was just seeing if anyone here had any advice before I decide. I don't have a site, just on eBay. This spring I will be...

I have a business selling kids clothing on eBay (soon to be in consignment sales with the way eBay is heading). All items come from garage sales or thrift stores. Needless to say, I have to wash everything when it comes in the door. Lots of items need to be ironed or at least freshened up...

Thanks Bob I will get better with the decorating the more I make it. My daughter can't wait until April for her birthday cupcake! I need to buy some decorating tips for icing bags and see how that turns out. Spice cake & cream cheese icing is our favorite cake. :)

Just got one of those Wilton huge cupcake cake pans right before Xmas. It was my husband's 40th b -day the other day so I tried it out. Hard to get used to but I followed some of the recommendations on Amazon about filling the bottom side first and letting it bake awhile before adding the top...

Does anyone use silicone bakeware? My mother in law gave me a huge bag that she was given after a friend of hers passed away. All of it has never been used, purchased on QVC/HSN (or something similar). From what I heard, her whole house was filled with purchased from TV crap. Any tips or...

My baby........ Tank, 14 years old on 2/16 of this year. Has liver & nose cancer but is hanging on and having good results with his meds (no chemo/radiation since it is too close to his eyes). He is being pampered this weekend by a pet sitter while we are away. I was nervous leaving him but...

I agree with your wife Polkanut! Must be a Cheesehead thing. :-)

it goes in the hamper when... I pick it up off the floor and it goes the in hamper! My kids (and husband) have a serious problem with putting their stuff in the hamper. I have tried to leave it (to make them see how much it piles up if you don't put it in the hamper) but they just dont get it...

Pete Double crown whorls-gotta love 'em! Except with my son's hair, as soon as it starts to grow out it becomes Alfalfa hair sticking straight up. My son is very intelligent, and I am not just saying that because I am his Mom! He taught himself how to get on the internet by age 2 1/2 (I had...

Very interesting That was a very interesting article. Lots of strange things that they studied though. I was checking all the signs for women on myself, even though I am not a lesbian. Just making sure I hadn't missed something. :-) My son (7 years old) has a double whorl (one going one way...

Those look so good! My husband is working up in MN for the week. I'll have him stop by for some. :-) I'll try to make them someday!

Yummy! Again, these were fabulous! I am making the other half of the dough tonight. :) The kids had so much fun and used the cookie cutters that they got for Christmas. Plus, they ate TONS of warm cookies that we sprinkled with sugar. Thanks again!!
